Be a KUB Ranger!

Kids, do you want to be a KUB Ranger and earn a badge? Just visit a Montana State Park, complete the KUB Ranger Activity Guide and you’ll be an official KUB Ranger! Older kids: try the Junior Ranger challenge booklet available at your nearest State Park office.

Print the guide out before you come to the park and then have fun doing the activities with your family and friends! Just show your finished activity guide to a park ranger who will award you your KUB Ranger badge. You can also bring the booklet to any Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks office to receive your badge. Or, send in the completed form on the back of the booklet and an official KUB Ranger badge will be mailed to you!
